China Tests U.S. Immigration Plan

What can the U.S. do if a huge trading partner like China won't take back thousands of illegal immigrants? Not much, apparently.

In a spat over U.S. asylum policy, China is refusing to take back 40,000 deportable immigrants, insisting that asylum-seekers such as Falun Gong members and other political opponents of Beijing be returned as well. That has put the U.S. in a sticky position.
